How Should I Process Cash Donations I Have Received?

If you have collected cash from your donors and would like to add it to your fundraising page, there are two ways you can do this depending on whether each of your donors would like their donation to show up separately with their names next to each donation on your fundraising page.

Option One:

If they DO want to see their individual donations appear on your page, you'll need to:

3. Donate each amount they have given you separately, entering that friend's contact details into the donation form (you will need to use their name and email address if they want to be able to claim in with the ATO)

4. Once the amount is processed, each of your friends will receive a receipt for their donation to their email

Option Two:

If it doesn't matter to your donors whether they appear as individual donors on your page, then you can:

4. Once the amount is processed, you will receive one donation receipt to your email address

Please note: If you choose this option, you may want to add your friends names (with commas in between) into the 'Nickname' box on the donation form so that all their names show up next to the bulk amount. This is a nice way of acknowledging that they've all supported you as they won't receive a receipt in their name.
